“I have to write because if I don't get something down then after a while I feel …” — Terry Pratchett

Neither of my parents went to church, but they did everything that you needed to do to be Christian. That's something a Quaker would call an intimation of the divine.

There are things around, and I know where they can be got quite easily, but I quite like waking up to the sunshine.

It occurred to me that at one point it was like I had two diseases - one was Alzheimer's, and the other was knowing I had Alzheimer's.

I write books back to back, and I work very hard on them.
